turbodbc installation failed due to missing boost/locale.hpp file on AIX7.2

[bergen288]

I have compiled boost1.73 and generate its header files. As you can see below, locale.hpp is available in /software/thirdparty/boost_1_73_0/boost.

Login=xzhang: Line=130 > pwd
/software/thirdparty/boost_1_73_0/boost
Login=xzhang: Line=131 > ls -l locale.hpp
-rw-r--r--    1 xzhang   xzhang          887 Apr 22 2020  locale.hpp

I also defined BOOST_ROOT=/software/thirdparty/boost_1_73_0. However, turbodbc installation failed due to missing boost/locale.hpp file:

How to make sure turbodbc installation will search for boost hpp files? Thanks.

Can you post the full build log and the value of the environment variables CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS?

[bergen288]

I didn't define CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS. I expected they are defined in your makefile or something similar. Attached is the complete log file.
Thanks.

@xhochy:

Do you have any update on my issue?

Thanks.

I checked your setup.py. Basically, you defined 3 platforms: darwin, win32, and others, which means AIX is in others group. So I defined UNIXODBC_INCLUDE_DIR and UNIXODBC_LIBRARY_DIR accordingly. Now I have totally different errors. The 1st error is below and the other errors are similar.

Attached are log file and hpp file in question. I have to add ".txt" suffix to fool around github system. Would you mind to take a look?

Thanks.

I am confused with the following logic in your setup.py file. Apparently, turbodbc installation requires boost. However, BOOST_ROOT is only defined in "win32" platform. Does BOOST_ROOT is required or not on AIX? my unixODBC is installed in /usr/local/unixODBC while /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include are boost lib/include libraries. How do I define UNIXODBC_INCLUDE_DIR and UNIXODBC_LIBRARY_DIR on AIX? I tried them with /usr/local/include and /usr/local/bin, but the installation failed as mentioned in my last post. Other tries were failed with missing files.

Any help is really appreciated.

I can look into the logs next week but you will probably be mostly on your own on this. AIX is not officially supported and will probably never be as well. I also don't have access to an AIX setup as this is really uncommon.
